Even though the weather may not fully cooperate with us this Memorial Day weekend, Monday’s UV index is expected to be HIGH ☀️🌞

Make sure you stop by Back to Basics Log Cabin and grab your sun protection essentials before we are closed for the weekend!

🌿 Our natural sunblock is perfect for helping protect your skin while you’re outside enjoying the holiday.

🌿 Don’t forget our After Sun Gel! If you happen to get a little too much sun, this cooling botanical blend helps soothe overheated skin naturally while helping you keep your tan longer.

💋 Our SPF Chapsticks are also back on the shelf! These are wonderful for protecting lips from sun exposure and can even be applied to the bridge of your nose and other small areas that tend to burn easily. If you’re prone to cold sores triggered by the sun, these can also be very beneficial. (I’m also thinking Cancer spot protection)

Stop in before the holiday weekend and stock up! ☀️🧴

Last night was one of those “stay until it’s done” kind of nights here at Back to Basics Log Cabin 🌲🪵 making fresh batches of our Glycerin Shave Soap and it turned out incredible. 🧼✨

Our shave soap is formulated with:
🌿 French Green Clay
🌿 Skin-loving oils
🌿 Essential oils selected to help soothe skin

This combination helps:
✔ reduce irritation
✔ support smoother shaving
✔ help prevent ingrown hairs
✔ minimize razor burn

And ladies — this isn’t just for men! 💚 Women can absolutely use this for shaving legs, underarms, and bikini areas too.



Today I’m working on our ALL-NATURAL After Shave Gel! 🌿

Unlike many commercial products loaded with synthetic ingredients and alcohols that dry the skin, ours is formulated with 100% natural ingredients designed to:
✔ calm inflammation
✔ cool irritated skin
✔ support healing after shaving

Perfect for:
🪒 facial shaving
🪒 beard lines
🪒 bikini line
🪒 legs
🪒 underarms

Even if you didn’t use our shave soap beforehand, the After Shave Gel is wonderful for calming irritated skin afterward.

And let’s not forget the Facial & Beard Oil! 🧔🌲

Our beard oil works beautifully as:
✔ a beard conditioner
✔ a facial moisturizer
✔ a skin-conditioning treatment beneath the beard

A healthy beard starts with healthy skin underneath. For Fathers Day stop in and gift Dad our popular facial care products! Feel free to print our Beard care tips below to go with our Soaps and Facial Oils!



✨ Beard Care Tips ✨
A lot of men accidentally damage their beard by over-washing or using harsh soaps.

Here are a few tips:
✔ Wash your beard 2–3 times weekly with a gentle cleanser
✔ Avoid harsh detergents that strip natural oils
✔ Pat dry — don’t aggressively rub with a towel
✔ Apply beard oil while slightly damp
✔ Comb or brush daily to distribute oils evenly
✔ Exfoliate underneath the beard occasionally to help prevent ingrown hairs
✔ Keep skin hydrated beneath the beard — that’s where beard health begins

Fresh batches are hitting the shelves now at Back to Basics Log Cabin 🌲🪵

🐝 Happy 🐝
When people think about bees, they usually think about honey. For our family, we also think about early mornings checking our hives, worn bee gloves, and taking the information Randy’s dad taught him and passing that onto our kids-passing down from one generation to the next.
Beekeeping has been part of our family for more than 85 years, and somewhere along the way it became about much more than what ends up in the jar. It taught us patience. Respect for nature. The value of slowing down and doing things the right way, even when it takes longer.
Those same values still shape everything we do at Back to Basics Log Cabin today. 💛
In a world that moves fast, bees are a reminder that good things cannot always be rushed. Sometimes the best results come from care, consistency, and working in harmony with the world around us.
Today we’re simply grateful. Grateful for the bees, for the tradition, and for all of you who continue to support small family businesses, , and sustainable practices. 🍯🌼

Just an FYI!
Some very interesting info on which ticks cause which diseases as well as some unknown to some symptoms.
But instead of Deet please use our natural Repellents that actually work for you, your kids and your pets.

Less than 24 Hours after posting about Ticks and advising that Thru Hikers and Backpackers carry the extra weight of a brush, I was awoken at 4:30 in the morning by something. God's Grace? I reached towards the back of my head and felt this American Dog Tick attacked to my scalp. Ugh...Wanna talk about waking up quickly? OH BOY!!!. There's no going back to sleep after that. It's time for another tick check and some soul searching. Ticks are scary...and they should because some of them are deadly.

The common knowledge amongst the non hikers is "Lyme Disease". Heck, they even pluralize it. HA!... But, Lyme Disease shouldn't be your biggest fear when it comes to Ticks.

Lyme Disease is terrible. It's caused by The Black Legged Deer Tick and The Western Black Legged Tick. (NOT BILL GATES). Lyme Disease causes life long debilitating affects. Pray you don't get it or be one of those idiots who swear they have it but it hasn't kicked in yet. True Story. Some Moron told me that after yellow blazing half his AT Hike.

"Alpha Gal" is the next one on the list. Also horrible. Comes from the Lone Star Stick and causes an allergy to Red Meat...Oh Dear God, Please No!....

The Big 2, I call them. But, they are not as dangerous as "Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever"... An Untreated Bite from The American Dog Tick that has transmitted RMSF and a person can be unalive in 7-9 days. If they make it longer, gangrene sets in on the toes. The initial symptoms can not be ignored. Severe Fever, Severe Muscle Pain, Severe Headache, and Severe Prayers. It's a Nightmare...Doxycycline is an antibiotic. It will cure RMSF...but results can vary if the patient doesn't get treated within the first 5 days...The worst part is the "Wives Tale" that you hear around the campfire. The one where they tell you that a Tick has to be attached for 24 Hours before it can infect you. Too many experts and not enough facts around campfires...Fact is, RMSF can be transmitted if an American Dog Tick is attached for 4 hours....and that's terrifyingly easy to happen....

Folks, Tick Protection is Key when you're outdoors. I am not a fan of spraying chemicals on myself but Id rather use the 40% Deet than be unalive 10 days from now. Permetherin DOES NOT WORK for Thru Hiking. Our 30 Washes happens over a period of a few days with how much we sweat. If it worked, Thru Hikers wouldn't be using Lyme Disease as their excuse for quitting.🤔 Oh Boy. Use The Deet and Protect Yourself From All of The Tick-Borne Illnesses and Then Thank Me Later.

ONWARD!!! ❤️
